I really like this movie. Worth watching, music also enjoyed 5 stars

"Great! This is exactly how a TV series should be outstanding acting and masterful storytelling. I'm thoroughly impressed. I’ve read some negative reviews to understand different perspectives, but I think the state of television today has deteriorated so much that many viewers no longer recognize quality when they see it. They're used to high-action, pointless drivel that lacks substance, and because this series doesn't rely on those cheap thrills, it goes unappreciated. I suspect these critics enjoy the kind of shallow movies and TV shows filled with mindless CGI and over-the-top action. Unfortunately, by supporting such content, they’re contributing to the decline of quality television."

A Disastrous Script! In their attempt to expand on a masterpiece, they ended up ruining a classic. The writers clearly had no respect for the original, tearing it apart in the worst way possible. Tim Burton should never have approved this script nostalgia alone isn’t enough to save this disaster. Spoilers Below: What was the point of the soul-sucker character? It added nothing to the plot. At first, I thought she might become a major antagonist, but in the end, she just existed to prevent a wedding. Sure, the visual effects of the victims being absorbed were cool, but that’s about it. What a waste of potential. The plot itself was a jumbled mess: we had not one but two dead dads, a dead boy, a mother and daughter clashing, and the daughter somehow gaining the ability to see ghosts with no real explanation. It felt thrown together with no cohesion. There are countless other ridiculous moments, but listing them all would take forever. The actors did their best with what they were given, but even their performances couldn’t save this corny, rushed script. Hollywood desperately needs to invest in better writing. It feels like every film nowadays is either a superhero franchise or a lazy remake of something successful. Please, Hollywood, respect your audience. We pay good money to see these films, and we deserve quality storytelling, not recycled ideas. I rated this 2 only because it was nice to see the old cast together again. Hopefully, if enough people stop supporting these big budget failures, we’ll see a return to the golden age of storytelling, like when Beetlejuice. was first made.

Telling the story of Jesus and His disciples is no small feat, and presenting it with creative liberties can be a slippery slope. The Chosen has done a remarkable job of bringing these biblical figures to life, but altering the Gospel message is a dangerous thing. Distorting key aspects of the story risks leading viewers away from the true teachings of Scripture. While the show is engaging and has high production value, there are significant issues that need to be addressed In the scene where Jesus reacts to John the Baptist’s plan to confront Herod, the show portrays Him as hesitant or even worried about John’s decision. This portrayal makes Jesus look more concerned with avoiding trouble than standing up for what’s right. The Jesus of the Gospels doesn’t hesitate when it comes to confronting sin. The show suggests there’s some tension between Jesus and John, especially in how they approach Herod. This isn’t just a small tweak; it risks making it seem like there’s a disconnect between their missions. The Bible makes it clear they were on the same page, working towards the same goal. If viewers think there was any division between them, it muddies the whole message. Here’s where it gets even more problematic. By showing Jesus advising John to be cautious, the show could be implying that Jesus Himself wasn’t consistent in His own ministry. Jesus didn’t shy away from calling out the Pharisees or anyone else who was out of line. If He’s shown as trying to stop John from doing the same with Herod, it makes Him look like He’s applying a double standard one for Himself and another for John. John the Baptist had one job to call out sin, even if it meant going after someone as powerful as Herod. The show’s depiction of this mission as reckless or ill advised minimizes the importance of John’s role as a prophet. This isn’t just a minor character tweak; it’s a significant departure from the biblical narrative that makes John seem less committed to his God given mission. Jesus Preparing His Sermon. Watching Jesus rehearse the Sermon on the Mount, even asking Matthew for feedback, feels off. The Bible presents Jesus as teaching with divine authority, not as someone who needs to practice His lines. This portrayal makes Jesus look more human in a way that can undermine His divine wisdom. Jesus wasn’t figuring things out as He went along He knew exactly what He was doing. Matthew Giving Matthew traits that suggest he’s on the autistic spectrum is an interesting choice. The Chosen is a glaring example of how dramatic adaptations can betray the essence of the Gospel. The show’s creative liberties have led it far from the truth, presenting a distorted and often inaccurate portrayal of Jesus and His ministry. This isn’t just a matter of artistic interpretation it’s a fundamental misrepresentation of Scripture that risks misleading viewers. The series' departure from biblical accuracy is severe and unacceptable, turning a story of spiritual truth into mere entertainment. It’s crucial to recognize that this show, despite its engaging format and high production values, fails in its primary responsibility which is to faithfully represent the Gospel.

I've read many reviews, so I won’t repeat what others have said. Instead, let’s focus on the fundamental Christian perspective. Remember, I am a Christian. The Whale isn’t about a man who, in his final moments, finds Jesus. It’s about a man who is dying and the love he has for his daughter. It's about a man who, in his last moments, seeks to correct a wrong and reconnect with her. The film also tells the story of a man who had a boyfriend from a Christian family, a boyfriend who ultimately took his own life. This plot angers many because it doesn’t center around their morals and beliefs. Some say it turns people away from God. But I challenge that view what if we looked at it from a different angle? The reality is that people do walk away from faith, and some do take their own lives. This film isn’t telling everyone to turn away from God; it’s telling a story that, while not the one you might want for yourself, is however a reality for many.This is a story about a father's love for his daughter. That doesn’t make it a one star movie. Open your minds and see it for what it is, not what you think it should be. You're not defending your faith by dismissing it and writing ignorant reviews you’re making Christians look silly. When our faith is genuinely mocked, by all means, defend it. But when a movie includes Christianity, make sure you understand it before you act like a protector of the faith.

What a great concept. I hope it takes off. Touching series.
